The day was a great success - check out the VLE in a few days to see the student's work.
On reflection I think it would be prudent for us to consider reducing the number of students in Room 79 doing video. There were some students off task during the editing process, this was partly due to the nature of the task and the size of the room.
6-8 of the students could be dispersed between the radio / podcast projects or be given a different video based task to do. This would alleviate some of the pressure within the room.
On a more positive note seeing the students make a piece of video within a day on Adobe Premiere Pro was extreme;y gratifying and certainly proves that pro apps have their place not only in the KS4/5 curriculum but KS3 as well.
I think it is important being in the second year of this project that we seek to follow up with some of the students and ensure that they are using these skills in other subject areas. I am going to try to collate information from some of the students I have worked with as the year progresses about times and opportunities they have had to reuse the skills they have learned during the ILP day.
